The strange world of demon cultivators

#88 - Chapter 88 Going out to explore the mystery of the supermarket

The next morning, the sky was as dark and gloomy as if thick ink had been splattered across it.

It was as if a massive black cloth had tightly wrapped the entire city.

Ji Yao followed closely behind the five people in front of him, step by step.

This morning, as they were packing up and preparing to leave, a chilling scene reappeared—suddenly, many more ghostly figures were outside the door.

The entrance to the Fortune God Temple was heavily surrounded by all kinds of grotesque and grimacing ghosts.

At this moment, the special ability of the military-uniformed man, which allowed him to keenly sense the presence of ghosts, played a crucial role.

He looked around with a grave expression and sharp eyes.

Then, he led the group quickly towards an inconspicuous, low wall.

After the group successfully climbed over the low wall, Ji Yao was surprised to find that there were no powerful ghosts lurking in this area, and even the ghostly aura in the air was noticeably thinner.

Moreover, several mysterious items tainted with ghostly energy were scattered throughout this area.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yao thought to himself:

"The abilities displayed by these people seem quite unique!

This kind of ability doesn't belong to the traditional cultivation system; it's more like an indescribable and mysterious power of perception.

Although its effectiveness may be relatively limited, it might play an unexpectedly important role at certain critical moments!"

Thinking of this, Ji Yao couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and curiosity about the future of this team.

The group carefully climbed over the low wall and then bent down.

Like a group of sneaky little mice, they slowly moved step by step along the corner of the wall.

Their movements were gentle and slow, for fear of making the slightest noise and attracting unnecessary trouble.

After a period of tortoise-like movement, they finally managed to escape from the deep and narrow alley of the Fortune God Temple from another direction.

When they stepped onto the wide street, their tense nerves relaxed slightly.

But they still didn't dare to let their guard down, so they quickly slipped into a corner of the street.

At this time, the street was empty and quiet, without a single person in sight, only a faint white light sprinkled on the ground, reflecting a pale scene.

The group huddled in the corner, their eyes warily watching the silent street that made them feel scared, and a sense of inexplicable fear and unease rose in their hearts.

Ji Yao stood among the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes looking blankly at the still dilapidated and lifeless scene before him.

He clearly remembered that when he first arrived here, the streets were bustling with activity, all kinds of strange and bizarre ghosts wandering around, and various ghost howls rising one after another.

But now, it seemed to have turned into a dead city, eerily quiet.

Just as Ji Yao was full of doubts, he suddenly noticed that the man beside him had closed his eyes.

He stood there motionless, seemingly concentrating on sensing everything around him.

He saw beads of sweat as large as beans constantly rolling down the man's forehead, flowing down his cheeks and soaking his collar.

Ji Yao stared curiously at the man, wanting to see what was happening.

After a while, he was surprised to find that a strange black vein emerged from inside the man's body!

The black vein was like a nimble snake, winding through the man's body.

In the blink of an eye, this "black snake" traveled to the man's face and began to silently absorb the wisps of ghostly energy permeating the air.

As time went by, the "black snake" on the man's face gradually grew stronger.

It greedily devoured the erratic ghostly energy until it had absorbed all the ghostly energy in the nearby area, and then the man slowly opened his eyes.

Also at the moment of opening his eyes, the snake suddenly disappeared like a ghost, as if it had never appeared.

The man was silent, just silently gesturing in one direction.

He signaled everyone to follow closely behind him, and then slowly and cautiously moved forward.

Ji Yao took all of this into his eyes, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.

When he witnessed the man's keen perception, he suddenly became deeply interested in this mysterious ability.

"Perhaps I should study how to cleverly use these strange ghosts without using magic power?" Ji Yao thought to himself.

After all, if his magic power suddenly failed one day.

Then this peculiar ability might become the key to saving his life.

Before long, the small team quietly arrived in front of a small supermarket.

Everyone carefully lay on the dusty glass window.

Staring wide-eyed, they peered intently into the supermarket.

You know, these ghosts have a significant characteristic—they are just like those ferocious carnivores, possessing a strong sense of territory.

That is to say, as long as people do not recklessly intrude into the territory they have demarcated, they will not usually be attacked by them.

Of course, this valuable experience.

Was only summarized and verified after paying the painful price of many fresh lives.

When Ji Yao learned this important information from the mouths of the others.

He couldn't help but feel very surprised:

"Huh? But didn't that female ghost clearly follow me all the way for most of the street before?

Could it be that there is something else going on here?"

In fact, Ji Yao was just unaware of this.

That female ghost was just an ordinary ghost.

Far less than the strong territorial awareness possessed by those powerful big ghosts.

But when he first arrived, those grimacing and bizarre ghost faces he saw were all genuine and terrifying fierce ghosts!

These fierce ghosts truly possess that strong awareness of strictly defending their territory and not allowing others to invade.

This group had been silently observing here for a long time, but just by looking with the naked eye.

It was impossible to detect what kind of ghosts and monsters were hidden inside.

At this critical moment, the burly man stepped forward, and his unique ability was finally able to be displayed.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a mysterious and strange aura seemed to be summoned by something.

It slowly flowed out from his closed eyes.

Then, an amazing scene happened—although he still had his eyes closed.

But as if he had opened an omniscient "God's perspective", he walked steadily and quickly towards a narrow alley next to the small supermarket.

Before long, he accurately arrived next to a pile of garbage exuding a stench in the depths of the alley.

Then, he squatted down without hesitation and began to carefully rummage through the garbage pile with his eyes closed.

Before long, his hand pulled out a black and white patterned mosquito net stained with斑斑bloodstains from the garbage pile as if he were treasure hunting.

After successfully taking out the mosquito net, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes were already filled with blood-red bloodshot eyes.

It was as if these bloodshot eyes would burst open at any time, making his eyeballs swell so much that they could not withstand this huge pressure.

Every bloodshot eye looked so hideous, like spider webs densely covering his eye sockets.

He trembled his hands and slowly handed the mosquito net in his hand to the eldest brother.

And lowered his voice and said:

"Brother, this mosquito net can temporarily blind the ghost's eyes for ten minutes!"

His tone was tinged with fear, but more of it was the expectation of the effect that this mosquito net could play.

After hearing this answer, the eldest brother nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the situation.

He quickly took the mosquito net, unfolded it without hesitation and draped it over himself.

Then, he took out a thick rope from his arms and skillfully tied it around his waist.

Then, he handed one end of the rope to the middle-aged man standing aside, and at the same time signaled the other party with his eyes to hold on tight.

After completing these preparations, the eldest brother took a deep breath.

Turned around to face everyone, and solemnly instructed:

"I'm going in to explore the way now, remember, I must come out within ten minutes.

When it's the ninth minute, no matter what happens.

You must pull this rope hard and try everything possible to pull me out of it!"

The people present looked at each other and nodded to show their understanding.

They knew the danger of this operation, and they had experienced similar cooperation many times before, and they were already familiar with the entire process.

Everyone held the rope tightly, adjusted their posture, and waited intently.

Seeing that everyone had made sufficient preparations, the eldest brother's original hanging heart was slightly calmed.

But even so, when he reached out and pushed open the closed door of the supermarket, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

As the door made a dull sound and slowly opened, the eldest brother carefully stepped into the unknown dark supermarket...

And Ji Yao stood quietly aside, silently watching everything that happened in front of him.

There was not much expression on his face, only a pensive light flashed in his deep eyes.

In his eyes, the supermarket at this moment seemed to have turned into a gloomy and terrifying haunted house.

And in the very center of this huge space, there stood a creepy figure!

The figure had no head, standing upright, motionless, like a cursed statue.

He couldn't help but turn his gaze to the others around him, secretly speculating in his heart:

It seems they can't see it?

He watched as the headless figure began to move slowly.

Approaching the eldest brother who entered step by step, at this time he was faintly looking forward to what would happen next?
